Location: Florence, Italy 
Contact Person: Annemarie Friedrich

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 12-Apr-2019 

Meeting Description:

Linguistic annotation of natural language corpora is the backbone of
supervised methods for statistical natural language processing. It also
provides valuable data for evaluation of both rule-based and supervised
systems and can help formalize and study linguistic phenomena.

The LAW provides a forum for presentation and discussion of innovative
research on all aspects of linguistic annotation, including
creation/evaluation of annotation schemes, methods for automatic and manual
annotation, use and evaluation of annotation software and frameworks,
representation of linguistic data and annotations, evaluation of manual and
automatically-produced annotations, etc.

Special Theme:

We encourage submission of papers relating to this year's special theme:
***marking of information quality in discourse***, i.e., annotations that mark
how the speaker/writer expresses assessments. These assessments may be
explicit and/or implicit in discourse, and may reflect positions, beliefs,
opinions, appraisals and/or assessments about written or spoken propositions,
for example, how a politician shows in discourse the degree of truthfulness in
one of his/her electoral promises, or how a reporter shows his/her degree of
belief in what the politician stated. This might include the annotation of
devices such as hedges (“Donald claims that the crowd size, if you can really
trust him to measure it, was enormous.”), committed belief (“The winners of
the contest will be announced tomorrow.“) or attitudes (“It is with great
sadness that we have learnt about the death of 6 people in the accident.”).


Call for Papers:

The 13th Linguistic Annotation Workshop (The LAW XIII)
https://sigann.github.io/LAW-XIII-2019

Held in conjunction with ACL 2019, Florence/Italy, August 2019
Sponsored by the ACL Special Interest Group on Annotation (SIGANN)

Workshop Topics:

We welcome submissions of long and short papers, posters, and demonstrations,
relating to the topics of the special theme and to any aspect of linguistic
annotation, including:

Annotation procedures:

- Innovative automated and manual strategies for annotation.
- Machine learning and knowledge-based methods for automation of corpus
annotation.
- Creation, maintenance, and interactive exploration of annotation structures
and annotated data.

Annotation evaluation:

- Inter-annotator agreement and other evaluation metrics and strategies.
- Qualitative evaluation of linguistic representation.

Annotation access and use:

- Representation formats/structures for merged annotations of different
phenomena, and means to explore/manipulate them.
- Linguistic considerations for merging annotations of distinct phenomena.

Annotation schemes, guidelines and standards:

- New and innovative annotation schemes, comparison of annotation schemes.
- Best practices for annotation procedures and/or development and
documentation of annotation schemes.
- Interoperability of annotation formats and/or frameworks among different
systems as well as different tasks, frameworks, modalities, and languages.
- Results on the application and evaluation of standards for (linguistic)
annotation.

Annotation software and frameworks:

- Development, evaluation and/or innovative use of annotation software
frameworks.
